Break Points EP40: Striking into Nationals Season


Listen Later

Episode 40 of the Breakpoints Podcast opens with chaotic reactions to Omens spoilers, especially Tempestuous Kiss and Astral Strike, plus discussion of arcane “ping” lightning lines, embodiment synergies, and concerns about the set feeling “whelmed” so far. The hosts debate expected play patterns for Aurora/Celios, touch on Ziggy and the fragment keyword, and call out other notable cards like Arc Ramp. They then shift to tournament talk, praising Felipo’s Calling Rotterdam win on Victor, and plug the Break Points Codex Journal and fabblazing.com. Taylor recaps launching a new player-run Living Legend-style format “Golden Age” (nicknamed “Gage”), including its philosophy, 60-card limit, key bans, and a desire to run events to find broken decks.
